FUJIFILM has announced the ETERNA ProRemote, a remote control app for the GFX ETERNA 55. It was designed to enable simple remote camera control and video monitoring using iOS and iPadOS devices. The app will be available on September 10, 2026.
The ETERNA ProRemote connects the GFX ETERNA 55 to iOS and iPadOS
devices, including smartphones and tablets, via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or wired LAN. There are three selectable connection modes ranging from single remote operation to multi-camera setups with up to four connected cameras.
The app allows for quick and easy connection to GFX ETERNA 55 without needing to enter detailed networking information, such as an IP address.
The three different connection modes are:
- Simple
- Advanced-Single
- Advanced-Multiple
In Simple and Advanced-Single modes, users can connect directly to a camera without needing a separate network access point. Advanced-Multiple mode requires a separate access point and allows for simultaneous connection of up to four GFX ETERNA 55 cameras, which is good if you require camera control on multicam productions.
After establishing a connection to a supported device, the app can be used to change camera settings and adjust the focus, iris, and zoom parameters all while viewing the live camera feed. The app can also serve as an additional monitoring output, giving users a monitoring option, depending on the production environment.
In Advanced-Single and Advanced-Multiple modes, users can display a variety of exposure and color tools, including waveform, vectorscope, and histogram, among other tools. Users can choose between an overlay display, which superimposes information over the image, or a side-by-side display, which places information outside of the image.
In these modes, users can also manually focus, use Touch AF, and control power zoom while monitoring the live camera feed. Focus and zoom can be adjusted from an iOS/iPadOS device, enabling camera and lens operation according to the intended shot even in situations where direct access to the camera is difficult. Recorded files, including video clips and frame grab images, can be transferred to a connected device. There is also the ability to view key camera parameters, including frame rate, shutter angle, ISO sensitivity, ND filter value, iris, and color settings.
The ETERNA ProRemote supports the saving and loading of custom camera settings, allowing users to save camera settings and to load them into cameras when needed. When multiple cameras are connected in Simple or Advanced-Multiple mode, settings from one camera can be copied to other cameras.
The ETERNA ProRemote will be showcased at IBC 2026 from September 11–14, 2026, in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
